It's getting colder again here, so I thought about our summer trip on the Amalfi Coast to warm me up.... Plenty of reasons to go there, but here is my list!
1# OBVIOUSLY THE FOOD : fresh fish & seafood, Setaro pasta, good local wines, gelato, aperitivo, big green olives, Campania is the Mozzarella di Buffala region, limoncello, crema con café (delicious very sweet iced coffee).... MMM!
Pasta with green peppers and fresh anchovy at PER BACCO. Best pasta dish I ever had. Vito Puglia, the owner of the restaurant is also one of the first pioneers and founders of the Slow Food movement. We had good meals every day, but this place has it all, great location in the middle of nowhere, quiet, simple, lots of wines, delicious food, cosiness, music..... "simplicity is the essence". Slow Food is all about going back to basics, back to essence, with respect for local produce and the environment. This little gem is situated further down south in Pisciotta, in the not very touristy Cilento region on the Salerno coast.
2# MAGNIFICAMENTE = sea + sun + nature + Italian vibe
View from Praiano
View on Capri from Massa Lubresne
Further south in Palinuro
Positano from the sea
Positano beach
3# NAPOLI vibrant rough city full of history and home town of the pizza
Il Vesuvio watches over Napoli
Bagno Elena : Napoli beach
4# HISTORY Put on your walking shoes and explore the footpaths of our ancestors in ancient Pompeii and climb the Vesuvius. Although I'm not particularly a fan of history, I must say it was pretty impressive. The good way to get into it, is to start with Naples National Archaeological Museum that gives you a better insight for your Pompeii visit, then climb the Vesuvius, since it's because of his eruption that the ancient city is so well preserved and then walk on the cobbled streets of Pompeii.
